RE: password synch

["Wilt, Charles" <CWilt@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

No they don't.

SSO/EIM requires a Kerberos server, and while it's true that most shops
probably end up using Windows Active Directory, it is certain not
required.

You can run Kerberos on a number of servers and may even be able to run
one on the iSeries using PASE.
